Alright, folks, gather 'round! Let’s talk about diving gear—because let’s be honest, this hobby ain't exactly winning any budget-friendly awards. You think golf is expensive? Ha! Try strapping a life-support system to your back and jumping into the ocean! And the gear? Ohhh, the gear! You start with a mask, and next thing you know, you’re taking out a second mortgage for the latest dive computer that doesn't even do your taxes.
Now, what we’re doing here is simple—we’re sharing stuff we like! Maybe it’s a great deal, maybe it’s just something that didn’t fall apart after one use—either way, we thought you might want to know about it. Do we guarantee it’ll change your life? Nope. Will it make you look 10 pounds lighter in a wetsuit? Sorry, not even Neptune himself can pull off that magic trick. But hey, these are just recommendations, not legally binding contracts. So, dive in, check ‘em out, and if you find something you love—fantastic! If not, well, at least you didn’t have to squeeze into a rental wetsuit today.
Welcome bubble-blowers, let’s talk used dive gear—because not all of us are sitting on treasure chests like some underwater pirate! The dive pros might warn, "Never buy used!"—and sure, maybe don’t grab a secondhand regulator from a guy in a trench coat at a gas station. But not everything’s a one-way ticket to an emergency ascent!
Masks, fins, weight belts, wetsuits (just wash em' good with baby shampoo unless you want a surprise DNA test), dive lights, SMBs—there’s plenty of solid gear out there. Some of it’s even brand new, just discounted because the box took a hit or someone sneezed on it.
And guess what? You can haggle! Some sellers fold faster than an overinflated BCD. Plus, some real dive shops sell and service gear, so you’re not just playing "Scuba Survivor: Will It Work?"
But heads up—some brands (looking at you, old Dacor and US Divers) are about as serviceable as a stone tablet. So do a little research, grab a deal, and may your wallet stay as full as your tank!
Here is a dive mask that’s basically an underwater miracle! If your ears throw a tantrum every time you descend, this bad boy might just be your new best friend. I did my homework—turns out even divers with tubes in their ears are rocking this thing like Aquaman. This isn’t a cheap mask, but considering the alternative is never diving again, it’s an absolute bargain at around $140usd!
Several years ago I had to have my eardrum punctured to let some sea water out. My doc hit me with the "You might never dive again." Dramatic, right? Fast forward *300+ dives later*, and guess what? I’m still blowing bubbles! Not only does it work, but it even helps me equalize on the way down—like a gentle, gilled therapist for my eardrums. (Note: I never use the strap over my head)
Downside? None—unless you count scaring the fish, and a few awkward looks from other divers.
Let’s talk about this little powerhouse of a dive light! It’s bright—like "Did I just summon Aquaman?" bright. It's also very underpriced. You flick this thing on, and suddenly that spooky, shadowy fish hideout turns into an underwater stadium. Compact, solid, and fits in your hand like it was made for epic oceanic adventures. Currently less than $70usd.
Now, turning it on? Ah, there’s a trick! Hold the button for a few seconds—kind of like convincing your dive buddy to buy the first round. But once it’s on, you get three light levels plus a green laser pointer. That’s right, folks, now you can highlight cool marine life or entertain fish who think they’re part of a high-stakes underwater laser tag match.
Drawbacks? Well, the bulb isn’t replaceable—yet. I’m poking the manufacturer with a metaphorical (and maybe literal) stick to fix that, so stay tuned. Update: The seller decided to give me half refund, so be sure to buy insurance on this or use AX as they have electronics insurance that works. Oh, and the batteries? The seller doesn’t carry extras, so you’ll need to track down some 26650s. But hey, a little treasure hunt before a dive just adds to the adventure! Here is the link to 26650 batteries
Ah, the eternal struggle—SMBs coming undone underwater like an overenthusiastic stripper at a bachelor party. But fear not, my buoyant buddies, because this bag solves that little Houdini act! Clip it onto your BCD, tuck it somewhere out of the way (but still grab-able in a “where’s my SMB?!” moment), and boom—it’s there when you need it, not floating off like it just quit its job.
And for the price? Less than $10usd it's a steal! You could probably use it for other things, but let’s be real—I’ve already got enough gear dangling off me to look like an underwater Christmas tree.
Now, shipping? Oh boy. This thing takes its time. I half expected it to arrive waterlogged with a note saying, “Sorry, had to swim from Asia.” But when it finally shows up? Totally worth the wait.
This is a closeout, so it will not be at this price for long.
Let’s clear this up—this isn’t technically dive gear, but it’s dive-friendly. Now, finding affordable, decent-looking dive wear is about as easy as spotting a white whale in the Caribbean, but at the time of this posting (5/2025), this little beauty was $15 USD! You can find a black/gray one that is around $10 USD but it might not attract as many ladies.
Now, let’s address the elephant—or rather, the teal-colored fish—in the room. Yes, it’s teal. And yes, it takes a real man to wear it. But let’s be honest, if you're worried about looking too fabulous, you're probably not strapping on 50 pounds of gear and back rolling into the ocean anyway.
You can wear this for a dive or just strut around the liveaboard at night, exuding that ‘I’ve conquered the deep’ confidence. It’s way better than wearing the same salt-crusted T-shirt for the seventh day in a row—trust me, we’ve tried both. Plus, it’s lightweight and packs down small, almost like ladies’ lingerie… but, you know, slightly more socially acceptable on the dive deck.
Will this make you irresistible to the ladies (or men) on board? Ehhh… probably not. But will it brighten your day? Absolutely. And isn’t that why you’re out here in the big blue in the first place?
Let’s talk about this BCD—because it’s not perfect, but it gets the job done! Is it the best on the market? Probably not. Does it work for us as recreational divers? Oh, hell yes. Let’s break it down.
First up—it’s lightweight! Says 6 lbs, but it's a bit over that. Integrated weights? Absolutely—because losing a weight belt mid-dive is about as fun as losing your pants. Plenty of D-rings, though not all are stainless steel. Adjustability? Like a dream. Plus, it’s got back pockets for weights, which means better balance—because nobody wants to dive with people who can't manage themselves underwater.
Now, the real magic? The price. Around $300usd brand new, which means our wallets aren’t screaming in agony. And as a scuba diving couple, remember—everything costs double. Double the gear, double the adventure, but a very happy partner.
One note—TUSA brags about their Advanced Weight Loading System, but let’s just say it’s a little temperamental. We’ve had weights pop out mid-dive like an overenthusiastic jack-in-the-box. Found them later, but still—buy extra pockets. Speaking of which, here’s where you can grab some: Tusa Pockets—because nobody wants to be that diver chasing their weights.
For less that $200usd, we've found a hot pink, budget-friendly, bubble-blowing beauty of a deal here — and it's going fast! You can get other sizes for slightly more.
It's Cressi brand, so you know it’s solid gear. Not the Rolls Royce of BCDs, but definitely not the rusty old lawnmower either. This baby’s got everything you need for under $200usd — and trust me, in the diving world, that’s basically highway robbery... but in your favor.
Now, listen... if you buy this for your newly certified wife or your adventure-seeking daughter, you’re a hero. Buy it for your teenage son... well, he might give you that “Dad, are you serious?” look. But hey, real men wear pink, right?
Why this BCD is making waves:
✅ Stability of Jacket Style BC (Keeps you from floating like a lost balloon)
✅ 1000 & 500 Denier Cordura (Tougher than your ex’s heart)
✅ 2 Large Cargo Pockets (Because divers love snacks too)
✅ Rigid Padded Backpack (Your spine will thank you)
✅ Torso Adjustable Shoulders (Fits better than your wetsuit)
✅ Adjustable Sternum Strap (For those epic underwater selfies)
At this price... it's basically a unicorn sighting. So grab it before it’s gone, throw on your fins, and get ready to blow bubbles in style.
🌊 Happy diving, my friends!
Let’s be honest—this isn’t exactly "dive gear," but there’s a pretty solid chance you’re gonna get wet. Now, hotels? Sometimes they give you towels so thin you could read a newspaper through them. And liveaboards? Yeah, they usually have towels, but they’re about as absorbent as a cocktail napkin.
So, if you actually want a towel that dries you off instead of just moving the water around, check these out! You get a pair—that’s two for the price of one!—in all sorts of colors, but if you go for the sleek, mysterious grey set? Just about $10 a towel. That’s a steal, my friends! Dry off, stay cozy, and look fabulous doing it!
(15 Sizes) - Super Stretchy - 3/2mm Full Body Wet Suit for Women
Let’s talk about wetsuits—because my wife? Oh, she’s picky. And I get it! She’s not exactly thrilled about squeezing into a suit that someone else has marinated in, if you catch my drift. Not even if it’s her own marinade!
So, for about $35, you can have a brand-new wetsuit shipped right to your door—fresh, clean, zero mystery fluids. And if it doesn’t fit? No worries! Send it back to Amazon and try again, because let’s be honest, wetsuit sizing is like decoding the Da Vinci Code. I’ve got everything from Large to XXL, and they all fit like I’ve been shrink-wrapped after one too many pizzas.
So do yourself a favor—get your lovely lady a new wetsuit. Will it earn you get lucky like you gave her flowers? Maybe not. But will it make *your* day better? Absolutely.
Neoprene Socks, 3mm Wetsuit Socks Anti-Slip
Do you remember the agony of stuffing chafed, blistered feet into dive fins? It’s like trying to jam your sunburned butt into a pair of skinny jeans—not fun! But fear not, because these little beauties will save your feet and your sanity.
Do they actually keep your feet warm? Well maybe? Or maybe it’s just your brain telling you they do—placebo socks! But what they do is stop those nasty blisters before they turn your feet into something out of a horror movie.
And for under $15? Come on! That’s less than a fancy cocktail, and these won’t leave you hungover. Saltwater might heal your wounds, or it might just get you infected—science is still out on that one—but either way, protect your feet! These 3mm bad boys look slick, feel great, and yes, they’re supposed to be warmer.
So grab a pair now before they disappear faster than your air supply on a deep dive—at this price, they’re flying off the shelves!
Wrist Dive Computer | Ultra Flat Design Watch-Style One Button Control Underwater Scuba Diving Computer, Blue/Black
The Mares Wrist Dive Computer—a little genius strapped to your arm that won’t break the bank or your brain! It’s reliable, tells you everything you need to know under the sea, and even does nitrox—because, let’s be honest, who wants to do math at 100 feet?
Is it the Rolls-Royce of dive computers? No. But for $225, it’s still a great buy! Easy battery changes, solid performance, and it even comes in a couple of colors at this price—because for some people, fashion matters, even at 100 ft below.
And hey, if you don’t like it, send it back to Amazon—no decompression stop required! But trust me, it beats crunching tables like it’s 1985. (Yeah, I’m old school, but at least I’m smart enough to let the computer do the thinking now!)
I present to you the ultimate underwater starter kit—the TUSA Liberator Sigma II BCD paired with Mares magic! This gear you can get serviced almost anywhere.
You get the TUSA Liberator BCD—black as a stealthy sea ninja, light as a feather (okay, 7 pounds, but who’s counting? Oh right, gravity!), and packed with features! Integrated weights? Yes! Travel-ready? Almost! Affordable? Absolutely! It’s like getting first-class features in coach seating.
Then they add the Mares Prestige 15X Regulator and Prestige Octopus, because nothing says “trust me, I can breathe” like a regulator that’s more reliable than your Uncle Larry at the family BBQ. The airflow? Smooth. The performance? Like butter in a hot pan underwater.
Now don’t forget the Blue Reef Nano 2 Gauge Console—your underwater dashboard of dreams. Pressure? Check. Depth? Check. Existential crisis at 60 feet? We’ll get back to you on that! But for now—you’re informed, you're calm, and you look cool doing it.
Will this Memorial Day 2025 special last forever? Heck no. But then again, some of these “limited time offers” seem to stick around longer than your last relationship. So why wait? Grab it now—before your tax refund becomes next month’s electric bill.
Buy it now. Dive Soon. Regret never.
40MP OIS+EIS Stabilization Diving Camera, 170°FOV Waterproof Camera Underwater, 5X Zoom, Dual Batteries, 32G SD Card and Helmet Accessory Kit
Behold the Not-a-GoPro-but-Still-Goes-Pro camera! For the price of a fancy cup of coffee and a muffin, (ok, less than $50) you get a 4K action camera that comes with two batteries (because one is never enough), an SD card (so you don’t have to mortgage your house for extra storage), and more attachments than a Swiss Army knife on steroids. This thing is ready to roll right out of the box—no tech degree required!
Now, here’s the kicker they don’t scream from the rooftops: a two-year warranty! That’s right! We already had to replace one, and we’ll report back on whether it’s a simple exchange or if they ask for a blood sample and your grandma’s dental records. But honestly, at this price, we could replace it a few times and still not hit GoPro territory.
And here’s the real test— it's says it can go underwater to a depth of 98 feet/30 meters! It's been there several times, but we don’t have footage of our demise via hungry shark, but hey, at least everything’s on the SD card, not locked away in some internal storage purgatory. So for a fraction of the price, we get crisp, beautiful, “oh crap, that shark is really close” footage.
It’s the budget-friendly way to capture all your bad decisions in 4K glory!
